The AA Gun is a weapon in Just Cause 4.

Description

It is a type of artillery.

It is an anti-aircraft gun that can also be used against ground targets.

It is about the same size as a mortar (actually has the same base). It has two barrels and a small shield.

Performance

As the name reveals, it is meant to be used for anti-aircraft purposes. One shell deals a little less damage than a tank cannon round, but it fires pretty quickly. It is useful for taking out helicopters, but not planes (unless you have excellent lead). The AA Gun can also be aimed lower, at ground targets.

The Agency uses them to prevent the player from using a parachute/wingsuit near them.

The weapon fires 1 gun at a time and the barrels have a functional recoil (they move back when fired). Shell explosions are very small and with few fire.

Locations

Black Hand

• At the front.
• At many military (Black Hand) bases.
  • ?
  • ?
  • ?
• Two at the Pachakawri crater that are always in Black Hand colors.

Army of Chaos

• Two at El Abismo after Operation Whiteout. The AI is not perfect, and might sometimes shoot at terrain/vehicles if the angle of elevation of the turrets is near 0 degrees when aiming at a Black Hand chopper.
• At some captured military bases.
  • ?
  • ?
  • ?
• Unlocked in supply drop upon securing the Picos Nevados region. The dropped ones are still in Black Hand colors.

Demons

• They seem to control some of these in a few infestations. A list of locations is still yet to be determined.

The Agency

• On a small island to the south of USS Conquest.
• On the front deck of USS Westward.
• Multiple submarines have these on some of the upper "balconies" (the large open hatches).

Trivia

• The Falconer AA Tank's guns are very similar, if not programmed the same.
• See Artillery for similar weapons.
• SAMs are more much more effective at taking out planes, but these guns work better against low-flying things, like helicopters, drones and wingsuiters.
• This is the successor to the 4-barreled Flak Cannon from JC2 and the Capstone FH155 from JC3.
